HELLO AND WELCOME

I’M JOY

AN INVITATION DESIGNER AND FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER

I live in the beautiful and picturesque town north of Oshawa with my husband and adorable daughter. I love to travel, explore and discover new places. If times that I am not working, you will see me sipping a warm cup of pistachio latte in the afternoon watching the sunset or reading a book with my little one in tow.

Growing up at a historical house in the Philippines, surrounded by forests, waterfalls, the fine white sands and the endless blue sea, has cultivated my affections to the wild and continuously be enamoured of the vestige things of the past.

FEATURED POST

Hi Friends! Welcome to my first post for 2019! A couple more months and Spring will be upon us and what better it is to post about a location perfect for a regular photo session or an engagement session!

Another thing you can use when you are styling for details are ribbons. I want to share with you on how I made my ribbons. It was so much fun and super easy! These ribbons are perfect when you are shooting the details for a wedding - invitations, flowers, rings, and more.

I am still old school and I have always love notebooks, paper and pens. Just like when I was in elementary school. I remember I love to collect small notebooks with various cute covers and I would also barter pages of stationery with my classmates for a different stationery piece and that I would keep them in an album as a steadily amass my collection.

LINEN. Go to your favourite fabric store and choose a colour of your choice. You may want to keep in mind that neutral colours are a good background choice for a variety of photography styling assignments.

OH! What a small world indeed! I can still vividly recall when a previous client had forwarded my business to a friend of hers looking for a maternity session for her daughter-in-law. I doubled in excitement when I found out that she knows my mother!

It was a beautiful coincidence that until today I am still in awe when I tell the story on how this trip had come about. Here I was sitting on my computer and researching, preparing for the upcoming March Break.

I have always wanted to do an adventure photography. Imagine my delight when I was contacted by my friend and we ended up planning for a winter maternity session! To add further excitement, its not locally, its in NEW YORK!!!
